“Faugh! Clothies!”

Monneh skilled tailoring from 17 to 125 last night. Did it in Exodar by running between AH and Tailor trainer. I would have gone further but 1) I ran out of money and 2) I can’t skill past 150 until I reach level 20 and visit a trainer in Stormwind.

At the moment I have -no- idea how to get from where I am to Stormwind. I did once accidentally hop the wrong boat and end up in the East Kingdom.. but I didn’t know how to get from there to Stormwind. I guess I’ll have to figure that out.

I’m a little bummed though. The reason I was speed skilling up was because I wanted to be able to make large bags to sell in AH and so that I could make cloth armor that would be useful to myself at a lower level. It looks like I can now make 10 slot bags. Decent.. but not the uber-bags I was hoping for. The cloth armor thing is looking better. I think I’m skilled to the point of reasonably making my own armor until about level 23. Hopefully by 23 I’ll be able to train tailoring up and skill some more.

It wasn’t all just boring crafting. I also finished a couple of quests. Some gnome guy, north of Blood Watch, had hidden himself in a dead turtle’s shell and was “observing” the swarm of murlocs around him.

I hate murlocs. Something about them just pisses me off. I hate patrolling a murloc village waiting for a specific type of murloc to show up. A relatively easy “collect X from the corpses of Y” was made practically unbearable by a low drop rate. Two hours later I finally had the stuff for the turn in. So much for a “quick” quest before bed.

Hey there, thanks for the link to my site! I’ve added you to my blogroll as well.

Those 10 slot bags are pretty decent, in that they sell well in the Auction House. I sell them for 95s-1g25s depending on how many other bags are already listed, and they sell consistently. Then there’s a bit more cash for buying equipment, since I don’t really find crafted-by-me equipment to be much use to me at the level I can make them for some reason… a few pieces, sure, but not many.

Good luck finding Stormwind, I’m Horde side with very very little Alliance side experience so you’re on your own when it comes to me
